Editorial Review:

Product Description:Geological processes affect the earth itself and human society. Solutions to geological problems, whether natural or man-made, demand close international collaboration. This book presents new approaches to current problems of environmental assessment, demonstrates the interactions between those involved in addressing global problems, and represents a means for the education of others. The book focuses on four major themes: geoenvironmental models, GIS methods and techniques, assessment and resource management, and resource policies and sustainable development. The major topics falling under each theme are introduced, followed by discussions of specific applications. Reports of the discussions of working groups are also presented to round out the individual contributions. The disciplines represented include geology, geophysics, geochemistry, remote sensing, economics, biology, mining engineering, resource analysis, mathematics and statistics.

Amazon.com Review:Informed sources report that today's young people are more interested in money management than their predecessors--but on the whole remain frighteningly ignorant of the specifics involved. Got Money? Enjoy It! Manage It! by personal-finance writer Jeff Wuorio is a sassy but smart compendium of relevant advice for those in their 20s and 30s who would like to buck that latter trend. After addressing everyday fundamentals, including budget setting and bank shopping, it concentrates on more advanced aspects of individual economics, such as debt, investing, retirement planning, home buying, securing financial assistance, utilizing electronic resources, and preparing for taxes. It also contains tips on such frequently overlooked cash-saving practices as reworking onerous student loans, finding and acquiring adequate renter's insurance, and buying household staples in bulk. "Making the most of your money is not as complicated as particle physics," Wuorio writes. "Granted, some things are more complicated than others, but the lion's share of basic financial ideas and principles are within the intellectual reach of anyone." His book synthesizes a wealth of solid information into one handy resource, and does so in a way that newcomers to the world of finance and investing can easily understand and readily utilize. --Howard Rothman
